Real-world operational transformation for three leading Canadian organizations with SmartSimple Cloud

In the heart of Canada's innovation landscape, research grants drive progress and foster discovery. However, managing these grants efficiently and effectively is a challenge many organizations face. As Canadian grant-providing institutions search for streamlined solutions, SmartSimple Cloud emerges at the forefront.

Over the twenty years we’ve been supporting the SmartSimple community, we’ve been fortunate enough to have developed strong, meaningful relationships with many of our clients. We’re humbled by the opportunity to assist our 500 clients make a real impact in the communities they serve.

It takes twenty years.

Twenty years ago we embarked on a journey. SmartSimple Cloud was the grand experiment. We aspired to make an impact on the world through technology.

Since the advent of COVID-19, the research grant community has begun to depend more on collaborative, cloud-based technology than ever before. Reviewers from around the world were already assessing work virtually, but now research grantmaking organizations need better remote collaboration even among their staff in the same city. They increasingly find that the old way of tracking everything in various spreadsheets is not working, and there is an emerging dire need for simple yet configurable software to manage the research grant review process from end to end.
